Question

Ms. Vasquez subscribes to a monthly science magazine. It costs her $36 for a 12-month subscription. Determine whether the statement about ratios is true or false? Statement: Mrs. Vasquez pays $9 for 2 magazines.

Answer 1

false

Explanation:

The costs for a 12-month subscription is $36, and the magazine is delivered monthly. This means that 12 magazines (12 month) costs $36.

Also, we can determine the cost for each magazine from:

12 magazine = $36

Divide through by 12:

12 magazine/12 = $36/12

1 magazine = $3

The cost of 1 magazine is $3.

Therefore 2 magazine would cost $6 (2 * $3)

Hence, the statement: Mrs. Vasquez pays $9 for 2 magazines is false
